Part 3/7:
Meanwhile, Nikola Jokic's recent performances have set a new standard for offensive productivity in the NBA. Over his last four games, he has averaged 42 points, 15 rebounds, and 8 assists while showcasing exceptional shooting percentages. Jokic is currently among the league's leaders in points per jump shot, which highlights his effective face-up game.
The synergy between Jokic and Russell Westbrook has been fascinating to watch. Westbrook's ability to create space and opportunities in the pick-and-roll has benefited Jokic immensely, enabling him to score easily in the short-range and on ball screens—a significant improvement over the Nuggets' early season struggles.
